Posted at FanLit. http://www.fantasyliterature.com/revi...Prentice Alvin is the third book in Orson Scott Cards TALES OF ALVIN MAKER. After the excitement in the last book, Red Prophet, when Alvin and his family experienced the Battle of Tippecanoe, Alvin is finally off to Hatrack River, where he was born, to begin his apprenticeship to Makepeace Smith, the blacksmith.

Another enjoyable entry in the Alvin Maker series. This one moved forward at a more satisfying pace than the previous two (or at least it felt like it) but I still was a little annoyed at the broken language writing style depending on who was the subject of the chapter.
